What to eat before swimming?
Edited
Contrary to the popular belief old wives tale that you have to leave an hour after eating to swim or you’ll drown there’s no evidence of this being true however swimming on a full stomach can make you feel sluggish and unwell. However it is best to try to not eat too much before swimming if your blood is busy digesting then it will affect your session. Don’t think too much about eating before a swim as most swimmers know you’ll be ravenous as soon as you leave the water.
